I’ve seen some peculiar fake user registrations crop up recently, and in the past couple of weeks they’ve become frequent enough to trip my Annoyance Threshold. I’ve temporarily turned off user registration until whatever ‘bot is doing it decides to go elsewhere.

It shouldn’t affect anyone’s ability to comment, since registration isn’t required for that. If you’re a real person and wish to register for the site, drop me a line and I’ll add you manually.
